Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does an AR-15 blast diverter actually do?
A: It redirects the muzzle blast forward, away from the shooter and nearby teammates, reducing concussive pressure and noise at the shooter’s position.
Q: Will this replace my muzzle brake?
A: Some models include a muzzle brake, while others slip over existing brakes or flash hiders. Combo kits are available for all-in-one solutions.
Q: Is a blast shield legal on AR-15s?
A: Yes. Blast diverters are legal in most states and don’t affect the rifle’s classification.
Q: Can I use a blast diverter with a suppressor?
A: No. Blast diverters are not designed to suppress sound. They manage concussion but are not a legal or functional substitute for a suppressor.
Q: Are these good for AR-15 pistols?
A: Absolutely — short-barreled ARs benefit the most from blast management.
